GUI Configuration Files

Each GUI, whether default or custom, is defined in a YAML file with two main sections: data and items. Below is an overview of these sections and their properties.

data Section

The data section defines the overall properties of the GUI, such as its title, size, and theme.

• Key Fields:

  • menu_title: The title displayed at the top of the GUI, supporting placeholders (e.g., &7%gpextension_title% (&2/ClaimIcon&7)).

  • args: A list of arguments required by the GUI (e.g., id, itemname for claim ID or item selection).

  • rows: The number of rows in the GUI (e.g., 6 for a 54-slot inventory).

  • theme: Specifies the theme to apply (e.g., default, clean_4). The plugin loads <theme_name>_EN.yml from the theme folder (e.g., clean_4_EN.yml).

  • version: A developer-only field specifying the configuration version (e.g., 1.0). Do not edit, as it may break the plugin.

  • gui_type: A developer-only field indicating the type of GUI (e.g., ICON_SELECTOR). For custom GUIs, it must match the name in gui.custom_guis. Do not edit for default GUIs.

• Example (from ClaimUpgradeNoEnter_EN.yml):

  data:
    menu_title: "%griefprevgui_title% &7(&2No Enter&7)"
    version: "1.1"
    args:
      - claimid
    rows: 4
    theme: clean_4
    gui_type: CLAIM_UPGRADE_NO_ENTER

• Notes:

  • Admins should only modify menu_title, args, rows, and theme as needed.

  • For custom GUIs, ensure gui_type matches the custom_guis entry in config.yml.

  • Editing version or gui_type for default GUIs can cause compatibility issues.

items Section

The items section defines the interactive elements (buttons, icons, etc.) displayed in the GUI, structured similarly to FlagOptions.yml. Each item is configured under a unique section name (e.g., teleport, plains) and supports properties to control its appearance and behavior. Multi-page GUIs include Previous and Next sections for navigation.

• Key Fields:

  • material: The Minecraft item representing the element (e.g., ENDER_PEARL, GRASS_BLOCK).

  • display_name: The name shown in the GUI, supporting color codes and placeholders (e.g., &7Plains).

  • lore: A list of text lines displayed when hovering, often including descriptions and placeholders (e.g., &8• &7Current: &f%gpextension_getbyid_flags_parma_ChangeBiome_{claimid}%).

  • slot: The specific slot where the item appears, as a single integer (e.g., 10, 31).

  • slots: A list of slots where the item appears (e.g., [10, 11, 12]), used instead of slot.

  • amount: The stack size of the item (defaults to 1 if not specified or invalid).

  • glow: If true, the item appears enchanted (e.g., true for add).

  • model_data: Custom model data for resource pack textures (optional, e.g., 0).

  • left_click_commands: Commands executed on left-click (e.g., [player] claim tp {claimid}).

  • right_click_commands: Commands executed on right-click (e.g., [player] gpguiflags set {claimid} ChangeBiome PLAINS).

  • click_commands: Commands executed for both left and right clicks (used instead of separate left/right commands).

  • priority: Determines the rendering order of items (e.g., 1 for disabled). Items with lower priority override theme items (priority 5).

  • view_requirement: Conditions for item visibility (e.g., checking if a feature is enabled or if the player has permissions).

• Navigation Controls:

  • Multi-page GUIs include Previous and Next sections to navigate between pages, typically placed in slots 47 and 51, respectively.

  • Example configuration:

    Previous:
      material: ARROW
      model_data: 0
      display_name: "&cPrevious Page &7[&a<page>&7/&2<max_page>&7]"
      lore:
        - "&7Go to the previous page"
      slot: 47
    Next:
      material: ARROW
      model_data: 0
      display_name: "&aNext Page &7[&a<page>&7/&2<max_page>&7]"
      lore:
        - "&7Go to the next page"
      slot: 51

• Special Sections for Custom GUIs:

  • Some custom GUIs (e.g., ICON_SELECTOR, NO_MOB_SPAWNS_TYPE) require a specific section in items matching their gui_type (e.g., ICON_SELECTOR for dynamic icon population).

  • User-defined custom GUIs (e.g., ClaimUpgradeBiomeSelector) typically use predefined items and may not require a dynamic section.

• Example Configurations:

  IconSelector.yml (Default Custom GUI with dynamic content and navigation):

    # Additional biome items omitted for brevity, following the same structure

• Notes:

  • The ICON_SELECTOR section in IconSelector.yml is required for dynamic icon population.

  • ClaimUpgradeBiomeSelector_EN.yml uses predefined items for biomes and does not require a dynamic section.

  • Navigation controls (Previous and Next) are defined as specific sections in multi-page GUIs, typically in slots 47 and 51.

  • Commands use placeholders (e.g., {claimid}, <anvilreply>) and special actions (e.g., [close], [sound]).

  • Theme items (priority 5) are overridden by GUI items with lower priority (e.g., 1, 2).
